Chapter 61: The mantis with its head cut
The second outpost is an unattended, isolated tower in the Arakawa, the tower body is made of gray stone, divided into six sides and six sides, seven floors high, each floor has a tower window on each side can look into the distance, the first time to grasp the movement of the Arakawa.
Ling Zhan pointed from afar: "Young Ancestor, please take a look." ”
Su Yi looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the scenery of the Arakawa was extremely poignant and majestic.
The sky is high and blue, and occasionally there are giant birds like pterosaurs, spreading their wings and gliding.
The outpost is surrounded by a vast expanse of gray land, which looks like it has no nutrients, and can be said to be extremely barren.
Su Yi raised his eyes and looked into the distance, dozens of miles away, a towering giant tree rose from the ground, its branches were pitch black and thick, like steel condensation. Not a single leaf on it was bare, and it plunged directly into a dark cloud that covered the sky and the sun above.
"It was a utopian tree, with black soil as its root and dark clouds as its crown. It is born of resentment and bad luck between heaven and earth, and in our opinion, the more filthy the energy, the better it is for it. Remember not to rest under this tree, otherwise the flesh and bones will melt away after the night, and it will be sucked into the ground by its old black roots. Young Ancestor looked over there again. Ling Zhan came to another tower window and pointed at it from afar.
Su Yi looked at it again, and a colorful neon hung on the horizon of the western sky, reflecting the scorching sun, beautiful and sacred.
"It's a rainbow miasma, and from a distance it's a rainbow, and when you get closer, you'll see that the ground is full of bones. Whether it is animals or humans, as long as they enter this place, they will lose consciousness all over their bodies, fall to the ground and do not wake up, and when they die, the corpses will be decomposed by a strange microorganism called the rainbow insect, which will continue to emit a miasma of the rainbow, setting a trap for the ignorant latecomers. ”
Su Yi gasped, he had only heard about the danger in the barren river before, but now he understood where the danger was.
Ling Zhan stroked his short hair under his chin, "If Young Ancestor thinks that this is the danger of the Arakawa, then he is wrong. ”
He smiled and guided Su Yi down the spiral staircase down the seven-story stone tower to the gray ground outside.
Su Yi followed the old man while listening to the old man's explanation of the general situation of this place.
In order to prevent the Arakawa Demonic Beast and the Dao Beast from growing rapidly under the nourishment of the vitality. Countless years ago, one hundred and eighty-eight emperor-level powerhouses joined forces to arrange the Heavenly Demon Refining Array, trapping countless lives in the Arakawa Array, and refining the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi here into nothingness.
Since then, the land here has become extremely barren, the pressure on the survival of all kinds of life has doubled, and the things of the jungle abound, either you eat me, or I eat you. To this day, every tree, every grass, and even every insect has its own way of survival, which should not be underestimated.
After Ling Zhan spoke, Su Yi gradually understood the causes of the many dangers here.
To put it simply, Arakawa is a prison where countless vicious criminals are imprisoned, and the jailers do not give these prisoners food, let them kill each other in it, the winner is the sword, and the defeated is the fish. Just like raising Gu, after countless years, what remains now are the most vicious of criminals.
"Trees and rainbows are big things that can be seen from afar, so it's not hard to avoid them. And what kills the Arakawa travelers is often not these big things, but those small things that are easy to be overlooked. Take, for example, this evil plant disguised as swallowtail. ”
Ling Zhan stopped and pointed three feet ahead.
There is a small green grass with two scissor-shaped leaves, which spreads in the wind, and embellishes the barren and gray ground with a little life.
Su Yi knew that swallowtail grass was just the most ordinary herbaceous life, and it was everywhere in this other world. But the evil plant in Ling Zhan's mouth in front of him, he couldn't see any difference from ordinary swallowtail grass after looking at it for a long time.
"Forgive Su Yi for being blunt, isn't this swallowtail grass, how can it be an evil plant?"
Ling Zhan touched his short hair and smiled: "Hehe, Young Ancestor is still too young. Don't look with your eyes, listen carefully with your ears, and you'll hear a low-frequency humming sound. ”
Su Yi was shocked, listened attentively, and sure enough, he heard the buzzing sound that Ling Zhan said, like a flying insect flapping its wings quickly.
Real swallowtail grass definitely doesn't make this sound!
"Young Ancestor and stand back, and watch the old man beat this monster back to its original form. ”
Ling Zhan slapped the storage bag and held his Dragon Tiger Demon Hammer in his hand.
"Wu Na demon, dare to play tricks in front of Ling, and watch me smash you to pieces. ”
Ling Zhan's face was serious, he let out a loud shout, clenched the handle of the hammer, and pulled out a semicircular arc. The dragon and tiger swing demon hammer's hideous dragon head hammer head screamed and struck the weak swallowtail grass.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the grass was instantly crushed into mud from the leaves to the rhizomes, and even the ground under the grass roots was shattered, leaving a large pit of ashes.
"Young Ancestor has seen it, to eliminate the evil, we must not leave a trace of life for the Arakawa evil, we must crush it into mud, crush it into soil, and crush it into dust. It's dead, and we're safe. Ling Zhan said as he clenched his fist with one hand, twisting it vigorously, as if he was crushing a mosquito that had sucked his blood.
Su Yi looked at the huge ash pit that had been kicked out by Ling Zhan, and then looked at the swallowtail grass that had been crushed into mud.
He suddenly frowned, and said thoughtfully: "Elder Ling, I still want to stick to the point just now, this grass you broke is just an ordinary swallowtail grass. ”
Boss Ling Zhan was unhappy, was this questioning his Principal Ling Da's eyesight?
Ling Zhan's snow-white eyebrows raised: "Young Ancestor, why are you so stubborn? How can this be an ordinary ......?"
The old man was just about to refute, but Su Yi suddenly put his index finger on his lips to stop him, "Shhh, you listened to the buzzing just now, it's more obvious." It seems to be nearby. ”
Ling Zhan listened to it, and sure enough, as Su Yi said, there was still that kind of humming sound, and it was even louder.
The swallowtail grass was hammered flat by him, but how could the sound not stop, wasn't the weird sound made by the swallowtail grass?
"How so?" the old man shook his head from side to side, puzzled to find the source of the sound.
Su Yi also tightened his eyebrows, listening carefully to help find it. Suddenly, his face became serious, and he pointed sharply at Ling Zhan's head, "On your head!"
"What, on my head?" Ling Zhan was shocked, "How could it be on my head?"
The Arakawa monster is weird and terrifying, and once you get close, the danger is unimaginable. If it's already lurking in the head, it's equivalent to half a life being confessed. He hurriedly urged the battle qi to form a dense layer of qi to protect the scalp.
At this moment, a large mantis with spotted black stripes sprang out from the old man's silver hair, growing in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it was three feet big, lying on his head, picking up a sickle-like forearm and slashing it.
It turned out that this praying mantis, just when Ling Zhan was smashing the grass with a hammer, flew out from the bottom of the leaf and took the opportunity to get into his hair. It's just that it's small and fast, and no one can see it.
Click! The qi formed by Ling Zhan was directly smashed to pieces.
Ling Zhan shook his head and rolled on the ground, trying to shake the mantis off its head. But the big mantis was indomitable, one knife arm clasped Ling Zhan's silver hair, and the other lifted and fell, like an executioner pulling his hair and cutting off his head, looking to take the old man's life.
"That beast, dare to commit murder in front of me Su Yi?"
